The YSRCP’s state Principal Secretary and MLA Sujaykrishna Rangarao lashed out at film star and Janasena commander Pawan Kalyan. The MLA accused Pawan of falsely luring innocent youths into voting for TDP in the 2014 general elections.

Stating that lakhs of youths who voted for TDP upon Pawan’s assurance have now ended up being jobless with no employment provided by the TDP government, Sujaykrishna appealed to every youth in the state to directly question Pawan Kalyan about his silence.

“He formed his party with the slogan –  ‘to question injustice’, but he is now busy participating in film shootings. He should put an end to films and question the government regarding its poll promises,” said the leader.

KTR has said that there is absolute security to the Seemandhras in Hyderabad contrary to malicious propaganda that they would be targeted once the TRS comes to power. “Has there been a single instance of attack on Seemandhras since the TRS has come to power?” asked KTR.

Factually, KTR is correct. But again, it might be in the best interests of the TRS that the safety of the Seemandhras is assured.

For starters, if there were any such incidents, the TDP would immediately start the section 8 issue again. And then, the final frontier for the TRS is the upcoming GHMC elections which would be hugely influenced by Seemandhra voters.

So, what guarantee is there that the TRS would not adopt a different agenda towards Seemandhra people after the GHMC elections, win or lose? After all, it was a party that came to power on the plank of regional hatred.

Clarity is coming about Pawan Kalyan’s plans for GHMC polls. It is now almost confirmed that Pawan Kalyan’s Jana Sena won’t be contesting the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporations elections scheduled to be held in the third week of January 2016.

Nor he would be campaigning for BJP and TDP. Reports are coming in that Pawan Kalyan has given his nod for long schedule of Sardar Gabbar Singh that starts from January 4th and lasts till the month end in Hyderabad.

He won’t be taking his time off from this schedule to campaign for NDA in Hyderabad elections although he did canvass for the same in the last general elections.

Sources his advisers told him not to contest or campaign in this municipal elections. Wait for some more time, they reportedly advised. He is also planning to release Sardar Gabbar Singh in April. So he can’t take time off from the shoot now.

Everybody is aware how much craze Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu has towards publicity. It has been proved time and again and sometimes, this overzealouness backfires, but Naidu doesn’t learn lessons. The other day, Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella visited the residence of Naidu and had one-on-one meeting with him.

The publicity managers immediately swung into action and issued a media statement explaining how Satya Nadella was floored by the hospitality of Naidu at the break-fast meeting, what kind of dishes he was served and how Naidu’s grandson Devaansh entertained him etc. In the same breath, the media statement said Nadella had made an announcement that Microsoft would be setting up a huge campus in Visakhapatnam very soon.

It was also leaked to the media that the Visakhapatnam campus would be much bigger than that in Hyderabad, which is the second largest campus of Microsoft after US. Even as the electronic media started scrolling the news of Microsoft campus in Visakhapatnam, there came a revised press release from Naidu’s publicity wing.

It had all the details of the original press note, except the sentence on Vizag campus. It said Naidu had requested Nadella to set up Microsoft campus in Visakhapatnam. So, it was not the Microsoft decision, but only Naidu’s request. Yet, the TDP chief sought to gain publicity even for a couple of hours!
